I have a Dodge van and a Coupe de Ville sunday driver fun ride. Both of 'em got damaged on the same day a few weeks ago. The van is repaired and back, the Caddy's a complete loss and won't be easily replaced. Too bad, modern cars seem designed by people who want people to hate cars, they're all miserable. Prior to the van I've always driven Cadillacs and Buicks. The wife has had a smattering of Mercury or Lincoln in there.
After experiencing the misery of a late-model Nissan loaner (they called it an Altima, I call it a rolling torture box), I am dead serious when I say I would rather drive an '81 K-car than a modern car. I couldn't sit in that Nissan 15 minutes without getting a sore back.

This one is my second Nissan. The first one I had was an Altima, but I lost that one when some dude totaled it when it was sitting in a parking lot. It was okay, fairly efficient.
The Rogue gets like 27-28 mpg, at least, and it's mostly comfortable. I can't speak for the back issues. I always get those wooden bead drape things like a taxi driver, and my back rarely hurts (for that reason, anyways) unless I am on an extended road trip and driving 10+ hours per day.
